Taken wrongly, they are destructive. Abuse of God's revelation is to be expected, given man's falling (note FALLING) condition. But in view of God's grace and mercy we must also expect the wonderful renewals, when truth is taken rightly, that is with all due humility and a sense of utter unworthiness as witness the greatest of all hymns, Amazing grace. It sums up the right attitude in the most appropriate terms. What we are now witnessing might be the ground swell preceeding the greatest awakening of all, the one in which the whole earth is filled with His knowledge and glory as the waters that cover the sea.

Do you have a link to his message or a transcript of it? The men below were mentioned as having participated in this discussion. Which were in defense of calvinsim? Erwin MacManus, David Jeremiah, Tony Evans, and Ed Young I wanted to find out which side these men fell on if any. Any input you would have would be appreciated. Thank you very much, Janet Falkmann Dear Calvinism Controversy compiler,

I will make the changes accordingly. So is there any difference between your GRACE and George's GRACE? Klay,

But I'm going to have to break down and add you to my select list. I just found this link from Steve Weaver. Great Work. Thank you so much! Info Update: IX Marks started in 1998 under the name "Center for Church Reform". I remember talking to Matt Schmucker at the Birmingham Founder's conference as it just got started. An extremely wealthy fellow (didn't know whether he was even a believer) gave a huge endowment for Dever's ministry. Back then, I can tell you, they had no idea what was ahead. Praise God!

I think every baptist calvinist can relate to being an outsider at some point or another. I bet it was interesting at those early founders meetings....I wonder if that's where the secret plans were made to split churches and decieve pulpit committes and quit evangelizing? I gotta get those tapes! But seriously, Thanks Timmy for the work. This will be a good resource to have. I also would love to hear the tapes from the 80’s.
